Manupulating Excel File Stored In Database

Is there any way I can manipulate the excel file that is stored in the database as LONG RAW ?
I need to allow user to manupulate the excel file that is stored in database and accordingly fetch the specific data from that manipulated Excel File of Database.

Your best bet is to keep the data in tables and generate a new excel file each time. Search this forum on how to generate excel files.. Here are three techniques... I like the XML method..
1) OLE2
2) XML
3) CSV
I have also done this using webutil..
1) retrieve excel blob from db to client using webutil function db_to_client_with_progress()
2) manipulate excel file on client using CLIENT_OLE2
3) put excel file back in db using webutil function client_to_db_with_progress()
Sorry.. Just re-read your post and didnt notice the Long-raw part.. :)

Best ways to view/display PDF/Excel files stored in the Database

What are best ways to display/view PDF/Excel files stored in the Database? thanks L

Thanks tom, sorry let me explain. Currently we have oracle forms screen, using webutil to store/view files into DB. client won't like the interface, they want us to make it more friendly, drag and drop if possible, load multiple files, as possible.. So I am exploring different ways to improve may be java (or jdev/any any other), different screen designs, different features for fileupload/download/view options.

Oracle reports to display PDF/Excel files stored in the Database

can we use Oracle reports to view/display PDF/Excel files stored in the Database? Thanks Lalitha

A document stored in the database can be easily retrieved in or via the browser using mod_plsql. Simplified:
select content, mime_type
into v_blob, v_mime_type
from ...
owa_util.mime_header(nvl(v_mimetype,'application/octet'),false);
htp.p('Content-length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(v_blob));
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file(v_blob);So, the link in your report should point to this database procedure.

Hi,
The problem i have is that i have to get info out of an excel file like a database. So i have to be able to perform a kind of query, but to an excel file. Is this possible?
lay-out excel file:
number | request | chemical composition
| | C | Mn | Si | ....
125654 | |0.20%|0.10%|0.05%|.....
i should have to be able to search on the number and read the differend % (C, Mn, Si). This % are used in a formula to calculate a value that is used for DAQ
I can do this action with an acces DB, but not with excel. The problem is that they used excel for some years now (where i work) and changing the excel file to a DB would be a very long w
ork.
If someone could help i'd appreciate it
thx

I tried it like you said, but i get the error: -2147217865
exception occured.

Access forms File stored in database

Can any body help in this
Call_Form('i:\test\fmb\entgrp');
here entgrp is the FMX file stored in Server which is mapped to i:
1 Now if i want to use this call_form
to call the file stored in database what is the syntax
2 and How to invoke this file from desktop using f45run
3 The File Stored in Databse like this is fmb or fmx
Thanks in Advance

When you save a Form to the database it is the FMB that you save and not the FMX. So you'll need to have the FMX on a file system and call it from there.
f45run recieves parameters such as userid=scott/tiger module=a.fmx
Check out the help to see the full list.
(P.S. Isn't it time you upgraded to a newer version of Forms?)

Access Word and Excel files stored on 8820 SD Card?

Need to be able to access many Word and Excel files stored on an 8820 SSD card - Media Center does not have a category for "business files" only pics and video etc. Is there a way to do that like Documents to Go on the Palm systems? Roxio's filters do not allow Word and Excel files either but Mass Storage accepts the OK. How to access on the SSD card?

On Android OS 4.1 - 4.3 (Jelly Bean) or older, Adobe Reader for Android version 11.2.x has a known defect in the "All PDFs" view. The All PDFs view does not show the files and folders on an external SD card. A workaround is to use the Folder View instead of the All PDFs view. We have fixed the defect and plan to include the fix in the next release of Reader for Android.
On Android OS 4.4 (KitKat) only, neither All PDFs view nor Folder View shows any files or folders on an external SD card. Reader cannot save any changes to the files on an external SD card, either. We are still working on fixing the problems. In the meantime, please copy the files from your external SD card to your device's internal storage (e.g. /storage/emulated/0/Documents/...) using a File Manager/Browser app or use a cloud storage service (Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) to store files.
Your case is the latter because your Samsung Galaxy S4 phone is running 4.4.2 (KitKat).
Sorry for the inconvenience.

View file stored in Database in client machine

Hi,
I am using oralce forms Release 10.2.0.1.0 .
In my application , files (.xls,.pdf,doc,gif etc) will be stored in Database table as BLOB. I have to add the provison to view the file in client browser.
I tried using the webutil function to transfer file from DB to client and then from client to AS and showed the file using web.show_document. The issue with that solution is file keeps on created in AS server. is there a way i can programatically delete the file from AS, after showing using web.show-document.
Or can anyone suggest any other solution for the same.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
There is no need to transfer the file on the AS if they are stored in the database.

Connecting an excel file as a database source in crystal

Hi
I have crystal 2011 on my pc and I can easily access information in an excel file by connecting it as a data source.
However, when i copy the excel file onto the SAP server and try to connect to the excel file there, it connects ok
but there is only displays Add Command and i can access Final Budget Table.
I know it is probably a simple issue but i cant seem to see it.
The server is using crystal 2008 and does not have excel installed.
The excel file has been into the same folder the report exists in.
I will eventually want to run this report through Inforview, what way does that work with regards the excel file?
Thanks
Rachael

Sound file storing in Database & accessing these files

Hi Friends
i have working on the project of Sound Recognization system
the requirement is that sound should be passed through mike input device & that sound should be stored in to database along with the user & password
for recognization & identification of user
But problem in storing the sound files in the database so how can i store the files into the database so please guide me.

brad103 wrote:
In my particular application, I process the byte array from the TargetDataLine. Then I save this to a db using new ByteArrayInputStream(soundData), soundData.length); where soundData is my byte[].
Am I correct that this will save the data in the relevant format (eg PCM_SIGNED, 8k, 16bit, etc), but the header information is not included? That's correct. Essentially, in JavaSound, that data has an associated "Format" object that was part of the line the data came from, would need to be given to any line the data was going to...and that format object is essentially a container for all of the header data...
And if so, then if I control the saving and retrieval then I can omit that step anyway as I know the format?You can omit the AudioSystem.write step and store the byte[] directly into the database...as long as you're capable of, as above, recreating the Format object that was originally associated with the data.
And my next question (digressing slightly, sorry umeshS), is that when using the tritonus gsm library and converting from above format to gsm, should I be using AudioSystem.write to write to an outputstream prior to calling AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(targetEncoding, originalAIS) to convert encodings?AudioSystem.write adds the file header to the stream, and that's all. If you're using a "stream", you have to have the Format object in order to create an AudioInputStream, so there's no need to add the file header (and the file header will screw things up if you're not using the File or URL versions of getAudioInputStream)...
So, as a giant summary...
AudioSystem.write adds a file header, which will include format information. This should only be used if you're planning on using AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(File f) to read the file the next time.
Otherwise, just save the data and the Format object associated with the data, so you can read it all back in later by building an AudioInputStream around your favorite IO stream.
And in retrospect, after explaining all of that...umeshS, the problem with the way you're doing it is that when you copy the file into the database, you're copying the file header. And then, because you're not using the "File" version of AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream, the system isn't handling the file header being there correctly.
You need to copy things into the database by creating an audioinputstream of your file, and then saving out the raw byte[] data. You can just call "read" on the ais a bunch of times and throw the results into your stream. Then, you can play it by pulling the data out of the database via a stream, and playing that stream by throwing it back into an AudioInputStream.

Download file stored in Database?

We are implementing a mini DMS in our application and need to
write and read files to the database. We are trying to figure out
if we can convert the byte array we get from the DB into a file
that the end user can save on the client machine.
Is this possible with Flex? I have heard no, but that Apollo
might allow it. What is Apollo?
Any ideas on how we could accomplish this with Flex3?

Apollo is what Adobe AIR was call in it's last version.
It's certainly possible to donwload this file from DB to
user's machine using Flex. And the bulk of the job would be done on
the server side, using Java/.NEt/PHP/whatever.
Flex would simply send a request using FileReference class to
a server side page and that page would read the file from DB as
byte array and write to the response. That would allow user to save
the file on his/her machine.

How to download a csv/excel file stored in a server using OA Framwork

Hi All,
We have a requirement where we have to generate a CSV file using PL/SQL block and the user shoul download that csv file to his client machine whenever it requirs to him. We have generated csv file and save the same in a particular location in the server. As the CSV file size may be around 10 to 15 MB we feel the storing and retrieving of the csv file in a BLOB object is a performance hit. Now we want to dowload the file from the csv file path without storing the csv file into database BLOB object.
Is this possible using OA framwork? if so please guide me how to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sathesh.

If u know following details you can use below method to download any file ( XLS/any) its generic method I have used in one of my project-
1. File Name with Extension
2. File path at which it has been placed
3. Page Context (you must know i assume)
public void DownloadFileFromServer(OAPageContext pgeContext, String file_name_with_path,
String file_name_with_ext)
System.out.println("Filename path "+file_name_with_path + "File Name:" + file_name_with_ext);
HttpServletResponse responseVar = (HttpServletResponse)pageContext.getRenderingContext().getServletResponse();
if (((file_name_with_path == null) || ("".equals(file_name_with_path))))
System.out.println("File path is invalid.");
File fileToDwnld = null;
try
fileToDwnld = new File(file_name_with_path);
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("Invalid File Path or file does not exist.");
if (!fileToDwnld.exists())
System.out.println("File does not exist.");
if (!fileToDwnld.canRead())
System.out.println("Not Able to read the file.");
String MADfileType = getMADMimeType(file_name_with_ext);
System.out.println("File Type - " + MADfileType);
responseVar.setContentType(MADfileType);
responseVar.setContentLength((int)fileToDwnld.length());
System.out.println("File Size is " + fileToDwnld.length());
responseVar.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + file_name_with_ext + "\"");
InputStream inStr = null;
ServletOutputStream outStr = null;
try
outStr = responseVar.getOutputStream();
inStr = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(fileToDwnld));
int ch;
while ((ch = inStr.read()) != -1)
outStr.write(ch);
catch (IOException e)
e.printStackTrace();
finally
try
outStr.flush();
outStr.close();
if (inStr != null)
inStr.close();
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
